Can I sell a vacant house in Jacksonville?
Yes. A vacant house still costs you taxes, insurance, utilities and lawn care, and it's a target for break-ins and code complaints. We buy vacant houses as-is, without you visiting, and close in as little as 7 days.
We handle Jacksonville closings through a Florida title company, which coordinates payoffs with the Duval County Clerk of Court records.
How vacant house works in Duval County
The steps below follow Florida statutes and the offices that handle them in Duval County, which includes Jacksonville.
Insurance gap
Many homeowner policies limit coverage once a home has been empty for a set period (often 30–60 days). Check your policy's vacancy clause.
Code exposure
Overgrown yards, pools and boarded windows draw code complaints, and fines can become liens in the Duval County public records.
Unwanted occupants
Since July 2024 Florida lets owners ask the sheriff to remove unauthorized occupants with a sworn complaint (s. 82.036).
Ongoing costs
Taxes, HOA dues, utilities and storm prep continue every month the house sits.
Exit
Sell, rent, or renovate — each has a different cost and timeline.
